You can do one of the following things to solve the problem: * Install lm_sensors 2.8.2 instead of 2.8.3. * Manually copy a recent version of i2c-id.h to the correct place in your kernel source tree (include/linux). You can get a bleeding-edge version of that file here: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/i2c/kernel/i2c-id.h No need to recompile your kernel, just retry compiling lm_sensors and it should be fine. * Use "make -k", which will ignore the error. Only the w83l785ts driver should be missing, so unless you need this paricular one, you won't care. My personal choice would go to solution #2. Let us know how it goes. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
